DOSBOX - How to install from disks

[Juan F. Ramirez]

I mean, 'virtual' disks.

I have the install files of the excellent Veil of Darkness in my laptop:

DISK.001
DISK.002
DISK.003
INSTALL.EXE

(originally the game came in three disks, .exe & .001 in the first, .002 in the 2nd and .003 in the 3rd)

They're in d:\MSDOS\VEIL, so I start with

MOUNT C: D:\MSDOS
MOUNT A: D:\MSDOS\VEIL

then I go to A: and type INSTALL, and the next error message appears:

FATAL ERROR. I CAN'T FIND INSTALL.EXE

What have I made wrong? How can I install it properly?

where is program?

looks MOUNT A: is incorrect, it works with mounting images:

found distro. Just copy 4 files to folder what mounted as C:(D:\MSDOS), run INSTALL.EXE

Thanks for the answers.

I clicked on the link you provided and made this:

MOUNT a d:\MSDOS\VEIL -t floppy

and then type

A:

and run install, but the same error message appears!

The install files are in D:\MSDOS\VEIL

I keep trying...

I extracted files from floppy images and put to folder - installer works.
In some cases read about ctrl+F4(swapping floppies)

I finally found the solution.

My files are from the original floppy disks. 20 years ago, I recorded it to a CD to preserve it as then my new computer didn't include a floppy disk. I realized that whenever you record a file on CD, that file is saved 'read only', so this was the problem...

I just disabled the 'read only' tick box in every archive and run DOSBOX. It works without any problems. [PLEASE INCLUDE THE 'HACKER' MEME HERE ]

Anyway, thanks for the replies!
